With my eyesight clearing the entire time, we ate dinner, called the police, filled out the reports they brought, and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. I kept thinking that, back home, it would still be too cold and probably raining anyhow to sit outside on a patio. Here, it had been warm all winter, and now that spring was here, it was even sunny.

But here, he had put one up, and he could have it outside or inside, and keep it up as long as he wanted to.
If I hadn’t come here, I would have been recuperating on my own. I wondered what I would have done about dinner, or if I would have had any at all. But then I wouldn’t have gotten sand and sea water in my eyes
